Bug#909204: ippusbxd: dummy0 network interface creation
Package: ippusbxd
Version: 1.33-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream, patch
I followed the advice in readme.md by loading the dummy module and
doing
root@test:~# ifconfig dummy0 192.168.7.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 multicast
I got
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
dummy0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
dummy0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
so I used ip (without error) instead.
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
ip link set dummy0 up multicast on
ip addr add 192.168.7.80/24 dev dummy0
The first command also loads the dummy module. 'ifconfig dummy0' shows
dummy0: flags=4291<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.7.80 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 0.0.0.0

(As a matter of interest, net-tools is not installed by default on Debian).

Brian.
